A man who killed his teenage sister while on a family holiday at a caravan park has been jailed for five years.
Mold Crown Court handed Selby an extended sentence of 10 years – made up of a five-year custodial term and five years on extended licence. The court heard Selby, who appeared via video-link from HMP Berwyn, has autism spectrum disorder with intermittent explosive disorder, which causes aggressive outbursts, as well as a depressive disorder, reports North Wales Live.
The court heard that, as she lay underneath her brother, Amanda said: “Tell Mum I love her.” Mr Baxter said Mr Selby pleaded with his son to get off Amanda but he did not get up until she had stopped breathing. He said: “In short, it can’t, and we accept it must be a custodial sentence.” He said he had spoken to Selby’s mother before the hearing and told the court: “This is horrific in the sense that she has, to all intents and purposes, lost two children, but she is very much aware of the issues and difficulties this defendant has and is here to support him.”
